The “Returner” phenomenon is a very real thing: people leave their small towns as young people and come back later when they're ready to settle down, and there is a huge opportunity for both the returners and the small towns they're coming back to–but we're not always open to these boomerangs. This episode is about inviting people back, creating spaces, and growing as communities so they everyone is thriving. We think you'll love it! About Jessica: Originally from Winner, SD (pop. 2,852), Jessica Meyers was raised in Winner and Vermillion, SD, and earned her bachelor's degree at South Dakota State University in Brookings. Jessica and her husband Matt followed the flight pattern of many young adults and left the small towns of SD for bigger cities. After 10 years of living in some of the largest cities in America, she now lives in Sioux Falls with her family. Pairing over 20 years of sales and recruiting experience, Jessica discovered a unique opportunity for the Midwest. She is co-founder and CEO of PorchLight, a talent recruitment firm that partners with rural communities to prepare for the 21st-century workforce and connect rural workers to employment opportunities. Jessica created the first-of-its-kind PorchLight Certification and created the platform where rural development and job opportunities connect. Personally, Jessica has been married for over 20 years to her high school sweetheart Matt, and they have three daughters, Eve, Grace, and Juliet, who live in Sioux Falls, SD.

South Dakota State University professors Lisa Hager and David Wiltse explore precedents and challenges to recent actions from the Trump administration.

Brewing a Greener FutureEver wonder where your used coffee grounds go after they've been completed? Probably not. But at South Dakota State University, researchers are turning them into something entirely unexpected: plastic. Not just any plastic, but a biodegradable alternative to oil and gas-based plastics that dominate the industry today. This innovative approach not only tackles the issueof food and other biomass waste but also addresses the plastic industry's reliance on fossil fuels and the rampant plastic pollution that harms both planetary and human health.The Pervasiveness of PlasticThe vast majority of plastics are currently made from natural gas and crude oil, types of fossil fuel. As of 2019, this production process was responsible for 3.4 percent of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, humanity produces over 300 million tons of plastic each year, resulting in widespread plastic pollution with adverse effects on both the environment and human health. Despite masquerading as a solution to excessive plastic waste, traditional plastic recycling is often ineffective due to contamination and industry deception. Thus, most plastic waste is diverted to landfills. Fossil fuel-based plastics take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose, and when they finally do, they release microplastics into the environment, which can infiltrate human bodies. Recognizing the need for a solution to this plastic crisis, Dr. Srinivas Janaswamy, the lead researcher, initially experimented with making biodegradable packaging using various agricultural byproducts, such as avocado peels, corn, oats, and wheat stalks. His focus has since shifted to spent coffee grounds, which contain lignocellulosic fibers — natural plant polymers essential for creating biodegradable plastics. The process of transforming coffee grounds into biodegradable films is quite intensive and involves drying, bleaching, and extracting the plant fibers from the coffee grounds. The resulting clear solution is then dried to form a strong, plastic-like film that can be used as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging.A Second Life for Coffee GroundsOne of the significant advantages of this solution is its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil-fuel-based plastic production and minimize plastic pollution. But on top of that, it provides a sustainable method of reusing otherwise wasted coffee grounds. Every morning, millions of people worldwide begin their day with a cup of coffee, a ritual shared by over 60% of Americans. Widespread enthusiasm for this caffeinated beverage has propelled it to become the second most traded commodity globally by volume, just behind oil. As a result, coffee shops are ubiquitous, generating an enormous amount of spent coffee grounds — approximately 8 million tons annually, much of which ends up in landfills. When left to waste away in landfills, coffee grounds can release methane, a potent greenhouse gas that exacerbates climate change. Meanwhile, biodegradable films derived from coffee grounds can decompose in soil within just 45 days, a stark contrast to traditional plastics. Because of their rapid biodegradation and abundance, spent coffee grounds provide an attractive resource for bioplastic packaging innovation.Market Barriers in a Plastic-Dependent WorldDespite its promising potential, the coffee ground-based film still faces challenges. The film has immense tensile strength — meaning it can withstand a great deal of stress before fracturing — but is less flexible than traditional plastic, which may ultimately limit its applications. Additionally, the production costs currently exceed those of fossil fuel alternatives. Nonetheless, Janaswamy is optimistic about its market potential, remaining confident that costs will decrease as technology evolves.As consumers become increasingly aware of the detrimental environmental and human health impacts of traditional plastics, there is a growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives. Even if these biodegradable plastics do come at a higher price, consumers may be willing to pay extra for the sustainability benefits they offer. Therefore, coffee ground-based packaging film presents an environmentally conscious solution without compromising the desired convenience of plastic packaging.About Our GuestDr. Srinivas Janaswamy, an associate professor at South Dakota State University's Department of Dairy and Food Science, continues to lead research on developing sustainable, biodegradable packaging materials as alternatives to traditional plastics. His work embodies the shift towards a more sustainable future, one in which waste is transformed into valuable resources and where our daily habits — like brewing a cup of coffee — can contribute to a cleaner planet.ResourcesEnvironment Energy Leader: Brewing Sustainability: Turning Spent Coffee Grounds into Biodegradable PackagingAirX Carbon: The Perfect Blend: Bio-Based Plastic Made from Coffee GroundsPackaging World: Coffee Grounds Potentially the Next BioplasticWaste Management Review: Study trials coffee grounds as plastic packagingFurther ReadingSouth Dakota State University: Could spent coffee grounds provide an alternative to plastic packaging?PubMed Central: Potential Uses of Spent Coffee Grounds in the Food IndustryWorld Economic Forum: 5 innovative ways your coffee grounds can be recycledUnited Nations Environment Programme: Plastic PollutionCarbon Brief: Why a UN Plastics treaty matters for climate changeResearch Gate: (PDF) Revolutionizing packaging: Bioplastics for superior food and pharmaceutical solutionsFor a transcript, please visit: https://climatebreak.org/transforming-coffee-grounds-into-a-biodegradable-plastic-alternative-with-dr-srinivas-janaswamy/.

In reading the Scriptures, there can be some passages that trouble modern readers, like the accounts of the wars the Israelites undertook against people living in the Promised Land. In this episode, Fr. Andrew Dickinson and Josh Burks from the FAD & Dad podcast sit down with Jess to shed some light on these Scripture passes. Fr. Andrew, Josh, and Jess discuss:Did God command genocide when he commanded the Israelites to wage war and put all the inhabitants of the cities to death?What about the account of Hagar's encounter with God? Did God command her to return to her abuser?What advice do you have for people who are reading these Scripture accounts?What did the Church Fathers say about these passages?You can check out the FAD & DAD podcast hereFather Andrew Dickinson is a priest of the Diocese of Sioux Falls. Ordained in 2006 he has served in the diocese in various capacities, including 11 years as the director of the Pius XII Newman Center serving the campus of South Dakota State University where he had the privilege of working with FOCUS missionaries those 11 years. Father Andrew currently serves as the pastor of 4 parishes in the diocese aided by 2 priests and one deacon. He also serves his Bishop as a Vicar General. If he has a FOCUS claim to fame it is through his brother, who was in the original bible study led by Dr. Sri in the 1990s. Joshua Burks is an Associate Teacher at The Emmaus Institute for Biblical Studies in Lincoln, NE. He teaches primarily on New Testament texts and themes, but enjoys any opportunity to bring clarity and conviction to engaging with Christ in the Scriptures. Previous to his time teaching, Joshua spent four years as a missionary and Team Director with FOCUS at South Dakota State University. Next to love of God is his love for his wife, Elizabeth, and their three rambunctious boys.
